BuddyPress.org

@hnla throughout your long ramble you forgot one important fact that I plainly stated at the end of my first post: “I do not know much about programming or dealing with databases…” So I must firstly apologize by saying: “Sorry for being an impatient newb.” I am very much a newb, and I was looking for […]

@modemlooper

Thanks for the advice. It took thecoup actually replicating my process to convince me. I’m just glad it all worked out.

@thecoup I can confirm that your method to troubleshoot my particular problem was successful. So the final verdict: Do not use Dreamhost’s One-Click Installs to install WordPress if you want to use BuddyPress. Instead, do a manual WordPress install and continue from there. Thanks to everyone for their help! Hope this information saves other people…[Read more]

@thecoup !!!

Thank you so much for the advice. I am going to tackle your solution in the morning and let you know how it goes. Many, many thanks in advance!

Okay, I think I have a problem… These are all the tables I have in my database: http://www.its-your-move.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Screen-shot-2011-01-17-at-12.31.37-PM.png And this is the information I get from my wp_bp_groups_groupmeta table: http://www.its-your-move.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Screen-shot-2011-01-16-at-8.41.33-PM.png…[Read more]

SVC: So let me make sure I know what to do and not confuse myself:

Go to: phpmyadmin > mydatabase > wp_bp_groups_groupmeta > group > forum > forum_id — And that is where I delete the forum_id, correct?

SVC:

Is this what my table should look like after I deleted the “forum_id” value? http://www.its-your-move.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Screen-shot-2011-01-16-at-8.41.33-PM.png

SVC:

I’m also not sure what your mean be “re-enabling” forums. I humbly ask for more instruction.

SVC:

Would that be the “id” or “group_id” value in the table? (I don’t see one named “forum_id”)

SVC – Thanks for the help.

My username, password, host name, and database name are the same for both my bb_config and wp_config.

HNLA: I don’t know if this helps understand my DB issues, but here is a screencap of the files in my root/its-your-move.org directory: http://www.its-your-move.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Screen-shot-2011-01-16-at-6.10.50-PM.png

SVC – My problem did exist before I started fresh. That is why I started completely fresh to troubleshoot.

My bp-config.php file is located in my “root/its-your-move.org” level of my Directory Tree. The wp-config file is in this same level.

HNLA – I’m a tiny bit confused… Where do I look in my wp-config to find my connection details? And where do I look in my bb-config file also?

Savannah: In the beginning I did start completely fresh. I began by deleting my original website by uninstalling WordPress through Dreamcast, deleting all databases and then clearing out the few remaining files via WebFTP. That erased all the traces of my previous website and, in theory, made everything like it was the first time I […]

modemlooper: Thanks for the tip. I have successfully installed around 10 other websites with WP via one-click install and have never faced any problems like this with a plugin. There might be a conflict between the Buddypress plugin and this type of WP install, but I haven’t heard of anybody else identifying this as a […]
